| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a proclamation which designates April 2018 as "Fair Housing Month" in Shasta County. |
| | | | | | | | SUMMARY
Approval of this recommendation would proclaim the month of April 2018 as Fair Housing Month and declare the County's support of Fair Housing Law. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
Each April, the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) commemorates the passage of Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968-the Fair Housing Act. The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in housing. With the adoption of this proclamation, the County of Shasta joins the rest of the country to promote the right to equal housing opportunity.
If any resident believes he or she has been discriminated against, the resident may refer to the County's Fair Housing webpage at https:\\www.co.shasta.ca.us/index/housing.aspx. Referral information is also available throughout the year at the Department of Housing and Community Action Programs. |
| | | | | | | | ALTERNATIVES
The Board could choose not to adopt the proclamation or choose a different month to recognize Fair Housing Month. This is not recommended, as April is recognized nationally as Fair Housing Month. |
| | | | | | | | OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT
The County Administrative Office has reviewed the recommendation. |
| | | | | | | | FINANCING
There is no additional General Fund impact with approval of the recommendation. |
